Aug 19, 2016 at 17:05 comment added user14857 So do you agree with $2^6$ @IvanNeretin i.e $2^5$ pairs of enantiomers?No mistakes in the formulation..right?
Aug 19, 2016 at 17:04 comment added SteffX Sorry, it is 64 stereoisomers, aka $2^6$ (I am tired on Friday)
Aug 19, 2016 at 17:03 comment added user14857 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoisomerism
Aug 19, 2016 at 17:03 comment added user14857 @IvanNeretin But according to Wikipedia "Enantiomers, also known as optical isomers, are two stereoisomers that are related to each other by a reflection: They are mirror images of each other that are non-superimposable. Human hands are a macroscopic analog of stereoisomerism. Every stereogenic center in one has the opposite configuration in the other." SO ENANTIOMERS ARE ALSO STEREOISOMERS.
Aug 19, 2016 at 17:01 comment added Ivan Neretin Half of those are enantiomers. Or rather, all those 64 are pairs of enantiomers.
Aug 19, 2016 at 17:01 comment added user14857 @SteffX I'm getting something different.There are 6 stereogenic areas.So I just use 26...is that wrong?

Aug 19, 2016 at 16:58 comment added Ivan Neretin @SteffX 36 sounds kinda superfluous. Are you sure you didn't mean 32?
Aug 19, 2016 at 16:57 comment added user14857 @SteffX Can you explain your method in detail?
Aug 19, 2016 at 16:54 comment added SteffX There are 4 chiral centers in the ring. The diene moiety (upper right) has 2 isomers and the lower right moiety also has 2 stereoisomers. So I counted 36 stereosiomers total.
Aug 19, 2016 at 16:51 comment added user14857 I get your point @IvanNeretin...its really getting complicated..

Aug 19, 2016 at 16:46 comment added Ivan Neretin Good to know you understand that. (Also, drawing it the wrong way may earn you downvotes and close votes.) Now to the point. Your E,Z calculation is correct. As for the "up or down" thing, the right-hand groups may also be either way, so it gets more complicated.
Aug 19, 2016 at 16:41 comment added user14857 @IvanNeretin I don't have a better picture...
